ChindaLashawn is what we call a mixologist. Now, I know what you’re thinking: what is the difference between a mixologist and a bartender? David "Rev" Ciancio with Bar and Restaurant has this to say:
A mixologist is an individual with a passion for combining elixirs and creating extraordinary cocktails, whereas a bartender is an individual with a passion for making great drinks and creating well-balanced experiences. To be successful, you really need both types of pros behind the bar.
ChindaLashawn considers herself a comfort mixologist. There are many bartenders, but a mixologist has passion behind their craft and all of Central Texas agree that you can taste her passion in each drink.
